The Spaniards make the best kitchen shears we’ve used to date. They’re more of a commitment, meaning the price point is higher than other shears out there, but we’ve not found anything comparable in quality or heft. Like our favorite little kitchen knives, they’re handmade by a third-generation knife company in the small town of Solsona, Spain, not far from Barcelona, and we expect them to be part of our kitchen decades from now. We use them every day for a range of tasks:
trimming mushrooms
shredding herbs without crushing them
snipping sun-dried tomatoes or pitted dates
used directly in cans of whole tomatoes
friends’ swear by them for use with poultry
cutting flowers, kitchen herbs, and spices
for cutting twine or cheesecloth for bouquet garni
